If you loop through the RelOptInfo->relids with bms_next_member() and
lookup the RangeTblEntry from root->simple_rte_array[] you can get the
"relid", which is the Oid of the relation. You can then call
get_rel_name() on that Oid. You'll also need to ensure the relid
actually belongs to a relation, for this check that the
RangeTblEntry->rtekind is RTE_RELATION. You might also want to think
about schema names since two relations can share the same name in
different schemas.
